I read somewhere that one could increase their inherent happiness by writing down three things about their day which made them happy. Doing this for two weeks increased happiness for six months. I like this idea, but I think I'll use a 3+1 option where I also get to rant about something as well. What can I say? Ranting makes me happy. And blogging this way, no one has to listen against their will.

Busy Beaver

This week is crazy, but good. Have I ever been this organized before? Perhaps not. The blitz like nature of the trip is forcing me to organize, which is a good thing. The Schedule:

Day, Time

Activity

Monday

Work

Monday PM

Pack for Training class

Tuesday Noon

Drop Car off at dealer for warranty service and non-warranty clutch replacement

So, the only part of the schedule I haven't done so far is the harry potter bit. Brunch required a wait, then we just went shopping at the garment district. With a group of people trying on weird stuff, it's pretty fun. And there were stretchy pants.

Ok, CrankyOtter here, and damn am I cranky. On the plane, they put the headphone jack on the inside of the armrest and I'd just started listening when I shifted my legs and snapped it clean off. no more headphones for moi. Damn.

So I went to use my 'puter, and plugged it in, but noticed it was leaking power. Turns out my outlet wasn't supplying power. (And my flight attendant couldn't possibly care less, although she did direct me to an open row of seating so I also no longer have to sit behind the guy who thinks that if he keeps bashing the seat backward it'll somehow lay down even more than the obnoxious amount it was already laid back).

I drank some water to get less cranky (and, for the completness, some absinthe). It seems to have worked. I'm still annoyed, but not so much that anyone's in mortal danger from me. The power outlet in the new seat works and I'm using the free, unsecured wifi (thanks google) on my flight home.

But I don't know what the status of my antivirus situation is, so I don't want to log in to anything at the moment. I tried to research antivirus software for a short while, but I went to PCMag.com to do it and it crashed my Firefox, twice. So I'm deferring that decision for yet another day. I do need something, but as long as it meets some basic threshold and is less than about $20 a year, I'll take it. But damned if I know what that basic threshold is, nor do I care. I just want the computer to work without much fuss on my part. Is that so wrong?
